felt i should stand my ground
and only made a mess of things
i wandered the path around my consciousness
and found 
i walked in circles, remembering...
loneliness never felt anything like this
always it was a silent beast
that crept up like a thief
and in the night i lost myself to it
at night it knew me well
and i lost my way and i lost my mind 
and i lost myself as well

i dreamed in black and white all night
about things that never touched my waking soul
i touched the silver of the sky and earthly waters
and i knew that i was whole
i dreamed in black and white all night
and never touched the ground
i looked into mirrors for pictures of myself
but nothing could be found

i don't want to die here
but in a stranger place
and with a stranger's face
everyone dies alone.
